7 Habits of Happy Kids

This year we have been reading The 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey! Along with the fun and lovable characters in the stories, our class has learned important life lessons and values. The 7 Habits are:
Habit 1. Be Proactive: I am in charge of my attitude, actions, and mood
Habit 2. Begin With the End in Mind: Have a plan
Habit 3. Put First Things First: Work, then play
Habit 4. Think Win-Win: I win, you win, we all win
Habit 5. Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood: Listen before you speak
Habit 6. Synergize: Together is Better
Habit 7. Sharpen the Saw: Balance Feels Best 

I am so incredibly proud of my students for working so hard to practice these habits each day! The 7 Habits have become an important part of our classroom, and the best part is that the kids understand them AND love them. Since we are all about movement in Room 203, we use hand motions to help remember each habit. Check out our video below. Enjoy!

p.s.- I know the posters are hard to see in the video, but each week we focus on a different habit and those are the posters we hang next to our calendar to show which habit we're focusing on. :) Download your own copy here for free!
